About Tagore

Tagore Subramaniam is full-time neutral specializing in complex and emotionally charged disputes. Teaming up with Jeffrey Krivis, Tagore was part of the mediation team responsible for resolving over a thousand nationwide sexual assault claims, and has extensive experience mediating employment, class action, personal injury, and PAGA matters of all sizes.

As a client advocate, Tagore helped build one of Southern California's most prominent employment litigation firms. As one of the firm’s managing attorneys, Tagore resolved hundreds of class action and single plaintiff disputes and was regularly recognized among the top employment lawyers in Los Angeles.

Known for his pragmatic and resolution-oriented approach, Tagore was part of a select group of attorneys that served on the Los Angeles Superior Court’s Ad Hoc Wage and Hour Class Action Committee. In this capacity, he worked with the Court as well as plaintiff and defense counsel to draft the LASC model settlement agreements for class actions and representative PAGA actions.

Tagore's extensive experience makes him uniquely positioned as a mediator to credibly discuss with parties the strengths and weaknesses of their case. Tagore is a frequent writer and speaker on issues relating to mediation, class actions, and employment law. He lives in Venice Beach, CA with his wife Leyla and their labradoodle Piper. When he is not mediating, he can be found surfing, rock-climbing, and playing jazz guitar.

Philosophy 

While Tagore adapts his approach based on the needs of the case, each experience is characterized by a command of the issues, patience, and a steadfast commitment to resolution. 

Tagore believes in maintaining curious and candid lines of communication.  Parties should be prepared for honest and constructive conversation. 

Outside of the courtroom, Tagore’s world view is informed by his many interests, including pickleball, rock climbing, tennis, surfing, and jazz guitar.
